Oh no! Not again made of a non-free software. I would like to veto
and strongly discourage this effort. I'd rather urge you to work
towards a flyer created with Free Software, i.e. with LaTeX, for
the next LinuxTag. I'd also like to urge you to create release-
independend flyers so we don't run into this desaster again.
I also don't like the idea of throwing away the donations we
received.
Regards,
Joey
